St. Paul's Music Ministry

"Sing lustily and with good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half-dead, or half-asleep;
but lift up your voice with strength." - John Wesley

"How wonderful it is when music in our services is not done as a performance to highlight the talent of the musician but as a message about the glory of our God. We need to be so careful that music, the lyrics, and the musician have as their goal to praise God. In so doing, those that hear the music are made ready to receive the Word that will be preached. Music and preaching are not in competition in worship; they are complementary to each other and allow for Christ-honoring worship." - Dr. Michael Edwards

St. Paul's is so very fortunate to have an active music ministry to bolster our spirits during worship service. Led by Director of Music, John C. Tyner, and Organist, Inger Oswald, there are several ways to participate in the musical program. If an organized choir or instrumental group is not for you, "sing lustily and with good courage" as a part of our congregation.
